The Vaccines - That Summer Feeling lyrics

That summer feeling (3X) When there's things to do not because you gotta When you run for love not because you oughta When you trust your friends with no reason notta The joy I've named shall not be tamed And that summer feeling is gonna haunt you one day in your life When the cool of the pond makes you drop down on it When the smell of the lawn makes you flop down on it When the teenage car gets the cop down on it That time is here for one more year And that summer feeling is gonna haunt you one day in your life If you've forgotten what I'm naming You're gonna long to reclaim it one day Because that summer feeling is gonna haunt you one day in your life And if you wait until your older A sad resentment will smolder one day And then that summer feeling is gonna haunt you And that summer feeling's gonna taunt you And then that summer feeling is gonna hurt you one day in your life When even fourth grade starts looking good Which you hated And first grade's looking good too Overrated And you boys long for some little girl that you dated Do you long for her or for the way you were? That summer feeling is gonna haunt you the rest of your life When the Oldsmobile has got the top down on it When the catamaran has got the drop down on it When the flat of the land has got the crop down on it Some things look good before and some things never were But that summer feeling is gonna haunt you one day in your life Well when your friends are in town and they got time for you When you and them are hanging around and they don't ignore you When you say what you will And they still adore you If that's not appealing, it's that summer feeling That summer feeling is gonna haunt you one day in your life It's gonna haunt you It's gonna taunt you You're gonna want this feeling inside one more time It's gonna haunt you It's gonna taunt you You're gonna want this feeling inside one more time When you're hangin' around the park with the water fountain And there's the little girl with the dirty ankles But she's on the swings where all the dust is kickin' up And you remember the ankle locket And the way she flirted with you For all this time how come? Well that summer feeling is gonna haunt you one day in your life You'll throw away everything for it (2X) When the playground that just was all dirt comes hauntin' And that little girl that called you a flirt Memory comes tauntin' You pick these things apart they're not that appealin' You put them together and you'll get a certain feeling That summer feeling is gonna haunt you one day in your life
